Dive into Phuket’s Tin Mining Past at Phuket Mining Museum & Lake! ⛏️🌊
• Epic spot in Kathu, Phuket – a grand museum on a former tin mine site, showcasing mining history with models, tools, and dioramas, plus a scenic lake (old mining pit) for peaceful walks and photos! 😍
• Easy access: 20-30 min drive from Phuket Town or airport (taxi ~300-500 THB) open 9 AM-4 PM daily.
• Pro tip: Visit on weekdays to avoid crowds; explore the interactive exhibits first, then stroll the lake for mining pit views – best in dry season (Nov-Apr) for clear weather.
• Safety first: Flat paths mostly, but watch slippery areas near the lake after rain – suitable for all ages, but supervise kids around water.
• Pair with nearby: Loch Palm Golf Club or Kathu Waterfall for a full history-nature day!
